Glow Stick® Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata)
Bring structure and vibrant seasonal color to your landscape—every day of the year—with Glow Stick® Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata). This distinctive shrub features a narrow, upright habit that adds vertical interest and strong architectural presence to any garden space. Its golden-yellow foliage emerges brightly in spring, softens to a fresh green in summer's heat, then returns to its luminous yellow glow as temperatures cool.
Low-maintenance by nature, Glow Stick® requires little to no pruning to maintain its clean, columnar form, but can be lightly trimmed if desired. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for front yard landscapes: plant it as a single focal point, flank an entryway with a pair, or group several for a bold, contemporary statement.
Whether you're looking to add lasting color, create symmetry, or even design a festive display wrapped in lights, Glow Stick® Japanese Holly delivers year-round beauty with style and ease.
- 4-6 feet tall and 1 foot wide at maturity
- Hardy in zones 5-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
- Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
- Space plants 1 foot apart for best results
- Produces small white flowers in late spring followed by black berries - if a pollinator plant is provided nearby
- Maintains glossy foliage year-round that presents yellow in cooler weather like spring and fall and fresh green in the heat of summer
- Great for borders, containers, hedges, edges, landscapes, mass planting or as a focal point
- Fall and winter interest, salt tolerant, foliage interest
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid summer. Little to no pruning is needed; remove select branches to shape or manage growth if necessary.
